What day of a fast does the magic start to happen?

I’m at 50 hours and slightly hungry. I have broth to use if needed. Just wondering if I fast longer are there more benefits. At what point in a fast does all the good effects start? My ketones are 3.6 glucose was 57.
Thank you

For me, it varies from fast to fast, and it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. I get some great weight loss by following the M-W-F 24 hour with T-R 18 hour mixed in, and when I plateau I simply do a 3-5 day fast to power through it.

When in doubt, just stay the course. “Stay calm and keto on” is more than a cool catch phrase, sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps me to my fasts.
